Canada came through for the MMA juggernaut once again, with UFC Fight Club members reportedly snapping up more than 40,000 tickets to UFC 129, the promotions Toronto debut, in a special pre-sale on Thursday.

The original configuration for the Rogers Centre called for a setting for 42,000 seats for UFC 129. Sportsnet.ca’s Joe Ferraro, however, on Thursday said that UFC officials released more tickets, likely setting the stadium up for a final configuration of somewhere around 45,000 seats.

Thursday’s UFC Fight Club pre-sale in and of itself obliterates the record set at UFC 124. There is an additional pre-sale event set for Friday for UFC newsletter subscribers before tickets go on-sale to the general public on Saturday.

It appears fans in Toronto are set on a sell-out for UFC 129, where Canadian Georges St-Pierre will attempt to defend his UFC welterweight title against Jake Shields.
